Jim Feist's Inner Circle Home Court Crusher - Tuesday!

NBA (709) PHOENIX SUNS VS (710) HOUSTON ROCKETS
Take: (710) HOUSTON ROCKETS

Houston is on a 6-3 SU, 7-2 ATS run, overachieving because of unselfish play for coach Rick Adelman. Rockets forward Shane Battier nearly doubled his previous season high with 23 points against the Kings on Friday, extending his streak to 21 regular-season games with at least one 3-pointer. With Trevor Ariza scoring 28 and Luis Scola 20, the Rockets had three scoring at least 20 points in a game for the first time this season. They never had three players scoring at least 20 points last season. They followed that with a win at the Lakers, 101-91, as a big dog. Houston is 3-1 SU/ATS at home. After a sizzling start, the Suns are 0-2 ATS the last two games, overvalued by oddsmakers. Houston is playing good defense, allowing 45% shooting by opponents, while the finesse Suns are again playing no defense, allowing 48% shooting -- 5th worst in the league. Of the 12 games Phoenix has played, this will be their 8th road game, and that includes a long East Coast trip they've already had. An excellent situational spot for the home team. Play the Rockets!
